'''[[Constitution]]al carry''' is a [[legal]] term and a [[conservative]]-[[libertarian]]-[[prepper]]-[[Patriot]] [[political]] term that means that the [[Second Amendment]] is the only needed so-called "[[license]]" for [[Concealed carry]] and [[Open carry]] of [[weapon]]s including [[firearm]]s, such as [[handgun]]s ([[pistol]]s and [[revolver]]s) and [[long gun]]s ([[rifle]]s and [[shotgun]]s), [[knives]] and any other form of [[hand]]-carried weapons.
Constitutional carry means that the carrying (see "[[Second Amendment]] [[gun rights|right to keep and bear arms]]") on one's person or in/on one's [[vehicle]] of firearms, [[concealed carry | concealed]] or [[Open carry | not]], is generally not restricted by the [[law]]. A constitutional carry [[state]] is a [[Essay:Free States Movement|free state]] from a [[Second Amendment]] [[unalienable rights]] perspective.
The legal term "Constitutional carry" describes the [[unalienable rights|unalienable]] [[Bill of Rights]] legal interpretation that the [[Second Amendment]] to the [[United States Constitution]] allows/permits no regulations or restrictions (see "[[Second Amendment|'''Shall not''' be infringed]]" on [[Gun Owners of America|gun ownership]].
In actual practice, the 2008 [[United States Supreme Court]] decision called "[[District of Columbia v. Heller]]" suggests that some [[state]] or [[city]]-[[county]] [[big government|government]] controls may be allowed, at least as to certain types of [[weapon]]s.
